In this week's video, I am talking about 4 router bits you should buy to get started in woodworking. In addition, I discuss bits you should avoid and some additional bits to add to your collection over time.
If you’re into DIY, woodworking, or like to live vicariously through other people making stuff, please consider supporting my work by watching the videos and liking/subscribing to my channel.
